SUMMARY:AA Mexico City Visiting School 2013
DESCRIPTION:Mexico City\nManufactured Landscape/Urbanities, Centro Cul
 tural de España\nWednesday 26 June – Friday 5 July 2013\n\nThe AA M
 exico City Visiting School is an international programme that aims to 
 engage with the most crucial and imposing challenges that Mexico City 
 faces and the ways in which architecture and urbanism can shape the me
 tropolis at different scales. In these sense the progamme sees the cit
 y as a laboratory where the virtual and experimental tradition of the 
 Architectural Association finds a fertile and concrete ground for the 
 application of its methodology in Mexico.\n“Manufactured Landscapes/
 Manufactured Urbanities” explores the metropolitan condition underst
 ood as a manufactured process by and for human beings. Henceforth the
  traditional opposing concepts, artificial vs nature, are replaced und
 er the premise, nature does not exist, where nature is not natural but
  naturalised and the artificial is not an external or impose construct
  but manufactured intrinsically.\nWith this as a starting point the pr
 ogramme will study 2 instances of Mexico City’s “Manufactured Land
 scapes/Manufactured Urbanities”: The ravines in the west of Mexico C
 ity, last bastion of the existing “Nature” and its crucial role i
 n the viability of Mexico City and social housing, as the fundamental 
 construct of the “artificial” habitat in the metropolis´s urban 
 tissue.   These  “Manufactured Landscapes/Manufactured Urbaniti
 es” and the ways in which they are designed, produced, reinvented re
 generated, show a vast spectrum representative of the crucial urban co
 nditions to be address and therefore they posed an enormous urban and 
 architectonic challenge  to confront in order to apply contemporary 
 design methodologies. \nTo tackle the complexities of the “Manufac
 tured Landscapes/Manufactured Urbanities”, the programme will immers
 e students and staff in a 10 day intensive workshop within a multidisc
 iplinary environment where national and international experts from var
 ious fields will enrich their proposals.  Students will work in archi
 tecture and/or urban scale teams and will critically assess the impact
  of their multiple scales interventions.\nA backbone of lectures, talk
 s and seminars, including local and international speakers, are design
 ed to broaden and reflect the relevance and the importance of the topi
 c for Mexico City. Finally a public exhibition of student’s work wil
 l be held at Centro Cultural de España in autumn 2013.\n\n\nFor more
